CM — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum

Summary

TRITD3AV1G193520, designated CM (TtCM), encodes a chorismate mutase with chorismate mutase activity (EC 5.4.99.5) and is also annotated for L-ascorbate peroxidase activity and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with prephenate anabolism, aromatic amino acid family anabolism, tryptophan formation, chorismate metabolism, green leaf volatile biosynthetic process, cellular oxidant detoxification, and defence response to bacteria. It is linked to heterosis and protein content traits, as well as a pathogen response phenotype. The product localises to the chloroplast stroma, plastid, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to morphological traits, lignin content, photochemical quenching, root morphology, and stress and pathogen responses.
